The K factor gives the time that a generator can withstand 1 per unit negative sequence current. For
example, with a K factor of 20, since (I
2
) 2 becomes 1 at 1 per unit of current, the generator can withstand
the condition for 20 seconds. Typical values for generator K factors are in the 2 to 40 range. The
BE1-11m uses the “nominal current” setting of the BE1-11m to determine what corresponds to 1 per unit
current in the generator.
When curve 46 is selected, the BE1-11m changes the range of the allowed time dial to 1 to 99 (instead of
the time dial range of 0.1 to 9.9 for all the other curves). The user should enter the “K” factor of the
generator into the time dial field.
BE1-11m Equation
When the 46 function is used, the BE1-11m uses the K factor (i.e., 46 time dial setting), 46 minimum
pickup setting and generator full-load current to create a constant Z (see Equation 29).
